DIED OF EXPosURE.-Th particulars OF
an exceedingly distressing case Of hardship
and death, says The London Pail Mall Ga
zette of May a, were disclosed before the
Warrington coroner yesterday at an inquest
on the body of John Harrison, aged thirteen,
who expired in his fathers arms on the fiat
Hero, opposite Eastman, during the recent
storm. The only witness called was the
father of the boy, and he told how MS Hat
had been loaded with sand near Eastman on
Friday morning. A fearful night of wind
and hail followed, and the craft got into a
kind of whirlpool, the water breaking clean
over her. All his hopes were then gone, for
on looking at his position he saw there was
a pool above him with about fifteen feet of
water, while the water flowing from the
bank dropped into the pool and caused q
terrible tempest. He then looked to see if
he could fasten his boy on his back and
swim ashore with him, but he could not get
clear of the whirlpool. Turning to his son
he said "Jobn, will brave the storm. II
you will stand on the fiat / will rescue you
from pershng." The child never murmur.
ed but trusted his father, and he stood on
the flats gaff for two hours and half, with
the boy in his arms, until he expired IN his
arms from starvation and exposure. 81
held my child for ten minutes alter he had
died, and strong sea came and washed us
both from the gait The boy slipped from
my arms and l could hold him no longer"
The Jury returned verdict of death from
starvation through exposure" The coro-
ner and the jury showed much sympathy
for the distressed father, who several times
burst into tears while narratiug the sad Cir
cumstances attending the calamity.

William Shute. an Old Fair Haven Res
 ident, Dies i'm a Shed Unattended by
 His Children or rReIatives-fae R Made a
 Precarious Living by Pastur1ng Cows
 and Lived Almost the Life of Re
 cluse.
 A ghastly discovery was made in the An mex shortly after o'clock yesterday after noon. Some boys came upon the dead body of William Shute, well known Fair Haven character, in tumble down shed near the old chemical works in Fair Haven East.
 The dead man was lying on an old lounge. The last seen of him was on Wednesday afternoon. He made precarious living by caring for and pasturing cattle and doing odd jobs about town. He was sixty-fiye years of age and had only one arm. He had lived in the old shed where he was found for some time and passed the past winter there. Medical Examiner White made an investi- gation. It is not known what was the cause of death, but it is conceded to have been a natural one. The deceased has son resid- ing at ITS South Front street. He also has two daughters. It is probable that his re- mains will be cared for by his relatives.

 BELFAST, July 2S.-An interview was had
 tonight with the Hon. P. A. Collins, who is
 staying at Magistrate Hughes residence near
 Belfast, on the subject of the treatment re-
 ceived by him from officials upon his arrival
 in this city. MT. Collins said he was first in
 clined to treat the matter as a joke, but
 afterward concluded that the government
 was narrowly watching his movements. During an extended tour of France and Great
 Britain he had never been similarly treated. He was immensely astonished when detec tives arrested him on the steamer before he was able to land, but he answered the ques- tions addressed to him in a cool and dignifed manner. The questions were as follows: What is your name? What is your businesss Where are you froma Where are you goinga MT. Collins replied that he was travelling chiefly for pleasure and had come from Glasgow His future movements were un- certain, but if the official would call at the Imperial Hotel the next day he would then be able to give him the desired information. | In the meanwhile the group of Americans stood at the bottom of the gangway sur ! rounded by small crowd. MT. Collins said the questions annoyed him less than the man. | ner in which they were asked. The whole | business was inexplicable to him. He had | been in Ireland thrice before, but had never | been treated in such 8 way. When, in addi- | tion to the questioning, his baggage was | seized he was simply amazed, but offered ! no opposition. Notwithstanding his feeling of | disgust, he was much amused in watching the officers scrutinizing the contents of his | trunks. A bottle of bay rum elicited deep attention, as did also packet of fragrant | so1, AF, 1S,,n, -of, | ably suggested dynamite to the officers. He ! believes that since the freedom of Dublin | was conferred upon him the government has | been upon his track. He does not mind | that, but he feels inability to travel in free
 country without being molested by ignorant | po1ioaneu

The five starters in the 2:20 class were all pacerr Lyttleton proved an easy winner in the first two heats, but the third heat was no easy victory, Joe Howe pushing him all the way around.
